Krithik is a name of South Indian origin, particularly common among Tamil-speaking Hindu communities. It is likely derived from the Sanskrit root 'kṛ' (to do, to make) and may be related to the word 'kṛti' meaning 'creation' or 'action'. The name has gained modern popularity in India and among the Indian diaspora since the early 2000s.
